Feng Yan
Psycdelheic Bamboo Series
The Power Series
Feng Yan's photographs compel us to increase our consideration of the seemingly insignificant details that surround us. Through strong minimalist compositions and subtle choice of form and light, and his purified form we notice that in our daily public and private lives exists a range of political to historical meanings we rarely deliberately see.

Like a seasoned hunter, Feng Yan is acutely precise about what to shoot & how to shoot. His visual world exists with a different order that is somewhat blurry and dangly but enlivened with harmonious tranquility in unity with the past and the future. (skip)
Feng Yan's grandest bewilderment & interest lie in the sense of distance in photography: the reflection on distance, the distance of reality and psychology. Is there distance of reality? How to measure psychological distance? His focus on distance gives his photography a clear sense of conception, making his choice and assessment unique.
